<span>In the story, four men are cramped together in a small dinghy after the ship that they are traveling on has capsized. The men are at the mercy of the ocean. Stephen Crane accentuates this setting by mentioning that the men could be killed at any moment. The cook is forced to bail water out of the dinghy, while the oiler and the correspondent must row continuously to survive. Crane constantly mentions the ever-present chance of death the four men face by noting the never-ending waves, the water continuously filling the boat, and the flimsy paddles that could snap at any time. Stephen Crane’s purpose in drawing attention to the setting is to show the reader how people are helpless when at nature’s mercy. The saying “time and tide wait for no man” is true. People may try to conquer nature, but ultimately, all they do is survive nature. That is because nature is relentless and all-powerful. It doesn’t stop to judge the plight of a person and limit the force it exerts on that person.</span>

I really dont know how to help you with this..., but ill try.

Emily was in her room reading a book one day when she suddenly heard her parents calling her. She walked downstairs and headed to the living room, where her parents are waiting for her.

"OK, Emily, we are moving to somewhere else because of your dad's job," Emily's mother, Amelia, said.

"What? We are moving? where?" Emily shouted.

"We are not sure yet, but its somewhere near California."

"but all my friends are here"

"So you'll just have to say goodbye to them then"

"Fine" Emily sighs.

After 2 weeks, Emily and her family arrives at their new home in San Franscisco. It was a big house, and they even agreed to take her to the local pet store to choose a puppy.

Emily quickly makes tons of new friends at her new school and joins lots of clubs, she quickly becomes the "popular" kids at her new school.

Emily learned an important lesson that we all should learn: You can't always focus on the negative outcome of something because when one door closes, another door opens.

HELP FAAST PLEASE 7. Good What images does Thomas create with his words in this stanza (what do you see in your head based on hi
max2010maxim [7]

Answer (You didn't tell me what poem and which stanza) Is it this poem? :

"Do not go gentle into that good night" by Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,

Because their words had forked no lightning they

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright

Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,

And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight

Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,

Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

What images does Thomas create with his words in this stanza (what do you see in your head based on his descriptions)?:

Thomas wrote "Do not go gentle into that good night" during a very specific moment in Dylan Thomas's life. His father, David John Thomas, had first introduced him to the wonder of language by reading him Shakespeare before bed at night. Thomas's father was a grammar school teacher, but he had always wanted to be a poet but was never able to realize his dream. Thomas wrote "Do not go gentle into that good night" because his father was dying.

HELP I need a summary of Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech! It needs to be 4-5 sentences please! DONT SPOIL THE END!!!!!!!!!!!
Katarina [22]
Thirteen-year-old Salamanca Tree Hiddle, proud of her country roots and the "Indian-ness in her blood," travels from Ohio to Idaho with her eccentric grandparents. Along the way, she tells them of the story of Phoebe Winterbottom, who received mysterious messages, who met a "potential lunatic," and whose mother disappeared.

Beneath Phoebe's stories Salamanca's own story and that of her mother, who left on April morning for Idaho, promising to return before the tulips bloomed. Sal's mother has not, however, returned, and the trip to Idaho takes on a growing urgency as Salamanca hopes to get to Idaho in time for her mother's birthday and bring her back, despite her father's warning that she is fishing in the air.

This richly layered novel is in turn funny, mysterious, and touching. Sharon Creech's original voice tells a story like no other, one that readers will not soon forget.
